I bought one of these saws. The guy at the store said “that’s a metal saw”. I said “yeh duh what else would saws be made out of.” I took it home and struggled immensely with sawing the wood trim I was using it on. It took me a solid SIX MONTHS to click in to what he meant when he said “it’s a metal saw.”
My dad saw a picture of that scene and immediately said “He could cut that pipe he’s chained to.” “But what if the blade is dull?” I said. “That pipe is cast iron. All he’d have to do is score it really good and then crack it with handle of the saw, or kick it lose.”
Dad knowledge. It must be something we get when we become a dad.
I still kinda don’t buy that there is a hacksaw blade capable of cutting through bone but not metal. Cool scene tho
I remembered this scene and saw the saw and immediately said that that specific saw is made to cut metal.

Maybe he also meant “dude, that saw is really metal”. Who knows what that saw has been capable of.
Also the hacksaw extends his reach by 50 cm so he could have grabbed the phone with it.

I can’t wait for mine to come in!
I’m pretty sure you could even use the back of the blade and the friction alone would work with enough time
I’ll happily supply the hacksaw to keep you occupied.
